Clinical Scorecard: Combined Burr Hole Drainage and Middle Meningeal Artery Occlusion via a Single Incision for Chronic Subdural Hematoma Utilizing 3D Reconstruction Techniques

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionChronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH)
Key MechanismsBurr hole drainage (BHD) and middle meningeal artery (MMA) occlusion through a single cranial burr hole using 3D reconstruction technology.
Target PopulationPatients aged 18 or older diagnosed with CSDH.
Care SettingDepartment of Neurosurgery at Ziyang Hospital of West China Hospital, Sichuan University.

Key Highlights

  • Observation group had a lower hematoma recurrence rate (4.9%) compared to control group (20.0%) at 6 months postoperatively.
  • Shorter drainage duration and hospitalization duration in the observation group (p < 0.001).
  • Less hematoma residual volume at 1 month postoperatively in the observation group (p < 0.001).
  • Both groups showed no significant differences in intraoperative indicators and perioperative complications.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Diagnosis of CSDH confirmed by cranial CT or MRI with clinical symptoms.

Management

  • Burr hole drainage combined with MMA occlusion for improved outcomes.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Monitor for hematoma recurrence and assess mRS score at 6 months postoperatively.

Risks

  • Postoperative recurrence rates of hematoma can range from 10 to 30%.

Patient & Prescribing Data

116 patients with CSDH treated from January 2021 to June 2025.

Single-point burr hole drainage combined with MMA occlusion may reduce recurrence and improve recovery metrics.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Utilize 3D reconstruction technology for precise localization of MMA during surgery.
  • Implement standardized nursing and postoperative care for all patients.
